India is the land of yoga. Over the centuries, yoga has evolved from being a lifestyle into a popular medium for physical and mental fitness. Especially modern yoga that focuses on strength, exercise, breathing and agility.

The term ‘Yoga’ takes its origin from the Sanskrit word ‘yuj’ which means ‘to unite’ or ‘to connect’ in the sense of spirituality. Yoga is a holistic approach toward reaching the holy union of mind and body. It also teaches thinking, restraint, self-love and harmony between nature and humans.

However, unlike all the other forms of physical activity that solely focus on physical fitness, yoga works from within with a focus on spiritual and mental wellbeing along with physical strength.

You might begin practising Yoga with the intention of getting in shape, increasing flexibility or with the short term goal of fitting into a dress. You might invest in a variety of Yoga attire, equipment and accessories, with the sole aim of trying to look like the cover of a Yoga journal or magazine.

Though, this is not Yoga. Yoga isn’t about using props or achieving a goal. Yoga is not a methodical or sequential approach to getting anywhere. Yoga is a journey.

Think Yoga, Think India

There is no dearth of yoga teaching schools in the world, but if there’s one place that can be called home to yoga then it is India. Yoga is an element of Indian culture and one of six schools in Hinduism (and the majority of Indians are Hindu).

In some respects, Yoga and the society that gave birth to it are inextricably linked and have a reflection in its teaching in the day-to-day life of people in India.

You cannot possibly comprehend or appreciate the depth or truth of this ancient art and science unless you have travelled to India to learn Yoga. If you’re serious about yoga, you’ll want to visit India at some point.

When Yoga travelled to the west, it lost its essence and transformed into a physical practise of asanas and got tied with achievement and perfection of postures. Instead of being a journey, it became goal centric.
